Chapter 71

Lu Ziqian stood up, snorted, and went back to his room.

Zhou Yiran shook her head helplessly at Ji Mingjing.

“He’s just a little upset, don’t take it to heart. But you have to be good to Xiangxiang, otherwise, not only Professor Lu, but even your aunt won’t let you off.”

Ji Mingjing looked deeply at Lu Yunxiang, his eyes filled with love.

“Don’t worry, Aunt, I will always be loyal to Xiangxiang.”

Zhou Yiran didn’t doubt Ji Mingjing’s words.

“You go help Xiangxiang, I’ll go comfort Professor Lu.”

Actually, Zhou Yiran truly understood Lu Ziqian.

After so many years of being separated from his daughter, they finally reunited, and now he had to give his daughter away in marriage.

Moreover, Lu Yunxiang was so good, so considerate, so sensible.

He was even more reluctant.

Ji Mingjing nodded.

“I understand Professor Lu.”

If Lu Yunxiang was his daughter, he wouldn’t want her to marry either.

But Lu Yunxiang was his wife, and he was eager to marry her.

Zhou Yiran went into the room to comfort Lu Ziqian.

Ji Mingjing naturally went into the kitchen.

“Xiangxiang, what are you doing?”

Lu Yunxiang smiled.

“Making red date cake, I can’t go to your house empty-handed, right? I’m making some snacks to take.”

Red date cake is very simple to make.

Soak the red dates in water, then boil them until soft. Remove the skin and pit, leaving the flesh and juice.

Slowly add white sugar, honey, and flour to the red date juice and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and clumping.

Pour the milk and red date flesh into the pot and stir until well combined.

Then, when it’s almost cooked, scoop it out and place it in a container to cool.

Then cut it into triangles or squares.

Ji Mingjing knew that the pastries Lu Yunxiang made had healing effects, so the fact that she could bring pastries as a gift was the highest level of respect.

“Xiangxiang, you’ve worked hard. Is there anything I can help with?”

The red date cake was already cooked.

“It’s a little hot, you can take it out to cool!”

“Okay.”

After placing the red date cake on the table, Ji Mingjing asked her.

“Anything else I can do?”

Lu Yunxiang smiled.

“No, let’s go, let’s go for a walk.”

The system just notified her that she had gained a happiness point.

Virtue +1

Now another virtue +1

She suspected that this was the virtue point from Ge Huifen selling clothes.

She had to go see.

On the way, the system kept beeping at her.

Virtue +1

Virtue +1

It kept adding until it reached one hundred before stopping.

When she arrived, Ge Huifen’s store was full of people.

“Why are you out of stock?”

“I saw something nice and came over!”

“Boss, restock quickly!”

Ge Huifen was surrounded by girls, unable to move.

She quickly explained: “Everyone, wait a little longer, this is the first batch, the second batch will be out tomorrow, come back tomorrow when I open. Sorry everyone!”

Ge Huifen was now happily troubled.

She had made one hundred pieces of clothing from the designs Lu Yunxiang gave her in two days.

As soon as they were stocked, they sold out in less than an hour!

It was a huge hit!!!

All the people who bought the clothes were angry and helpless.

The clothes were both novel and beautiful.

But even with their best efforts, they were out of stock.

What could they do?

They could only wait until tomorrow!

But looking at the crowd squeezed together, they didn’t know if they would be able to buy any tomorrow.

They had to get there early.

The crowd dispersed, and Ge Huifen saw Lu Yunxiang, her face lit up with joy.

“Xiangxiang!”

She excitedly ran to Lu Yunxiang, “The clothes are selling so well, one hundred pieces were gone in an instant!”

Lu Yunxiang wasn’t surprised at all.

After all, women of any era pursue beauty.

This era was still gray, colors weren’t as vivid, and styles were outdated, the clothes she brought out would definitely be eye-catching.

It was no wonder they would sell well.

Ge Huifen said, “Wait a minute, I’ll give you your share of the 100 pieces first.”

With that, she counted out twenty ten-yuan bills to Lu Yunxiang.

Lu Yunxiang smiled and took them, “Thank you.”

Then she looked at the clothes Lu Yunxiang was wearing.

Lu Yunxiang was wearing a white cake dress today, making her look playful and cute.

Especially since her skin was fair, she looked even more pleasing to the eye.

“Do you have the pattern for this dress?”

Lu Yunxiang smiled and took out the pattern for her.

Ge Huifen’s eyes lit up.

“I’ll go make it right away.”

Lu Yunxiang went back with Ji Mingjing.

On the way, she cautiously asked Ji Mingjing.

“Does this count as running a private business? Will it affect you?”

Ji Mingjing smiled and rubbed her black hair.

“It doesn’t, you’re not running a business.”

The country was gradually opening up.

Before, private businesses were not allowed.

Now they are allowed.

But only in the capital.

And you have to apply as a special group to get approved.

Only these people can run private businesses.

Ge Huifen was one of them.

Ge Huifen looked like an ordinary woman, but she had martyr parents.

First-class merit.

This military merit was incredible.

So when the country wanted to release private businesses as a precedent, Ge Huifen’s application was approved very smoothly.

It could be said that she benefited from her parents.

Ji Mingjing had investigated all of this.

After all, Lu Yunxiang was doing business with Ge Huifen, he needed to figure out some things, so she wouldn’t have to bear any risks.

Lu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them walked towards the courtyard.

They turned the corner and reached their courtyard, as they passed the neighboring courtyard, an old man and a young man were negotiating at the door.

Old man: “40,000 yuan, no less.”

Young man: “This courtyard is dilapidated, 40,000 yuan is too much, I’ll give you 30,000 at most.”

The old man was furious after hearing the young man’s words.

“Zhang Xiaojun, I’m in a hurry to sell the house to find my son, but that doesn’t mean you can just lower the price! 30,000 yuan and you want to buy my courtyard, I’m not selling! Get out!”

The old man angrily shoved him and closed the door.

The young man, who was pushed outside the door, wasn’t in a hurry.

“Tsk! You’re not in a hurry, I’m not in a hurry either! You think anyone can just casually come up with 40,000 yuan? I’ll wait for you to beg me! Then, I’ll only buy it for 20,000!”

Zhang Xiaojun hummed a tune and left.

His face was full of determination to get the courtyard.

Lu Yunxiang watched Zhang Xiaojun walk to the opposite side of the alley.

She looked at Ji Mingjing.

“This grandpa seems to be selling his courtyard…”

Ji Mingjing instantly understood what she meant.

He immediately stepped forward and knocked on the closed door.

A furious voice came from inside!

“Go away!”

Zhang Xiaojun was too unreasonable, the market price of this courtyard was around 45,000 yuan, because he urgently needed to sell the house, he was willing to sell it to him for 40,000.

He actually wanted to buy it for 30,000!

That was a third less!

No wonder the old man was angry!

Lu Yunxiang said softly, “Grandpa, I’m not Zhang Xiaojun, I want to buy your courtyard.”
